Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2810

"You said that, not me," said Mr. Zink swiftly upon hearing what Steven said. "Mr. Hughes, I never said Senior Howard's death is related to Mrs. Hughes and Dan!"

After that, he looked at Gwen and begged her to agree with him. "Miss, I'm sure you heard what I said. I never said that, right?"

Gwen furrowed her brow and felt bad for how pitiful Mr. Zink looked. As a lawyer, it was his duty to fight for justice, but since he was badly injured, he did not even dare to tell the truth as he was afraid it would cause more trouble.

She sighed and said, "Mr. Zink, you don't have to be so afraid. Steven… He's not the same as the others. He won't betray you, so you don't have to be afraid that he'd ask you to testify."

As she was talking, she looked at Steven who was driving. Gwen's reply shocked Steven because he never thought Gwen would say that to Mr. Zink. For a moment there, he did not know if he was more surprised or thrilled to hear that.

Even though he knew there was a higher chance Gwen said that to give comfort to Mr. Zink, he was happy to personally hear that Gwen was complimenting him, even when it was not purely for him.

Gwen's voice was gentle and brought comfort and assurance to people. After what she said, Mr. Zink finally let his guard down and started to cry, bringing his hands to cover his face. "T—They beat me for a long time…

"That was not all. Dan even used a dull knife and cut my body with every question he asked. The pain he felt was not the worst part; it was the stress!

"I broke down…so I told him everything Senior Howard told me.

"I—I didn't mean to betray my customer! I never knew Senior Howard would be dead after I said everything!

"But I was really scared of dying. I was scared that I'd never have the chance to see my wife and child… I didn't have a choice!"
